Necrotizing fasciitis: A deadly bug

A deadly bug called Necrotizing fasciitis: has killed a 54 year old man from Devon. The man had complained of a sore throat a week earlier, he was prescribed painkillers. He then developed pain in his left ankle less than 24 hours before he died. His condition deteriorated quickly until his family rushed him to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital at 3.10am. He was taken straight to theatre where surgeons tried to cut away the diseased tissue but the infection was spreading too quickly. He died a few hours later>

I am posting this blog as I am very concerned at the speed that this bug can kill, we need to know more information about it and what can be done to stop it. My heart goes out to this mans family and friends.
